67 Limekiln Street

Dover Mercury 20 July 2000 Pub. landlady was remembered in a song THIS pub, which used to stand in Limekiln Street, was originally known as the "Brewers Arms". The landlady was Kate Sandford and she is mentioned in a song sung at the theatre in 1805. In 1823 she was still in charge, and it was then known as the Two Brewers when, I assume, another brewer came to join Kingsfords. I notice that it was very keen on supplying "cyder", which is advertised in the windows. Joe Harman.

Archcliffe Fort Brewery occupied one end of the street and Satchell's Brewery the other. Which offers a reason for the name or perhaps they had a joint interest.

Traceable to 1791. (Coxen), and kept by Fred Cole from 1913. He supplemented his income by pursuing the trade of carpenter and undertaker and used the "Kent Arms" as a workshop after its closure. He also used this one for the same purpose after it closed on 22 March 1922.

Negotiations for its sale had started with Dover Corporation in 1913 but the war delayed any decision. By September 1921 the brewer wanted confirmation one way or the other. Fred Cole had seen enough by 1923 when he ended his own life.

The licence renewal was not applied for in 1923 or 1924.
